Re: Compilation crashes on NetBSD 1.5

[fis]

This attitude is pretty annoying, and the way you put it is much
worse.  I won't comment on your accusations at all, but wasn't the
strength of the open source approach meant to be `more debugging
information'?

But then, obviously bad guys produce bad feedback.  I see.  Anyway
here is a fix (well, a workaround, I didn't need anything more
sophisticated).  Feel free to ignore, I am off.
